Details
A unique blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Claudette and Ugni Blanc. We love the intensity of fruit here. Expect notes of orchard golden apples intermixing with grapefruit, lychee and pear. This is driven and intense across the nose and the palate, finishing with a white pepper spice and a subtle lactic quality.
Perched in the idyllic hills of Bandol, Domaine les Luquettes embodies the rugged charm of Provence with a touch of elegance. Here, the sunshine-soaked terraces are dedicated to Mourvèdre, the king of Bandol’s reds, along with a touch of Grenache and Cinsault, creating wines that seem to capture the very essence of the Mediterranean. The reds are bold yet nuanced, brimming with rich black fruit, aromatic herbs, and a hint of wild spice that lingers like a warm Provençal breeze. Meanwhile, Domaine les Luquettes’ rosé is an absolute delight — pale, dry, and loaded with notes of fresh peach and subtle sea-salt minerality. Their secret? A mix of traditional practices and careful organic farming, allows the vines to speak for themselves while respecting the land they grow on. The result? Wines with real personality, from the crispness of the rosé to the deep, earthy complexity of their reds. Domaine les Luquettes is a true Bandol classic, balancing tradition with a vibrant energy, making each sip a pleasure.

Pairing guide
We can’t get enough of this crisp, bright and beautifully zesty Sauvignon Blanc, which offers fantastic taste sensations alongside the variety’s signature food-friendly credentials. It’s a top match for green vegetable dishes - especially those featuring asparagus, peas and leafy greens like kale - and will also match very well with citrusy chicken dishes, fillets of white fish, simple salads and pasta recipes, and anything with plenty of aromatic herbs, ginger, chilli and lime. Delicious!

Wine region

Provence, France
Provence is a wine region in southeastern France best known for its delicious rosé wines and beautiful beaches. It's also home to a number of protected wine appellations, such as the Côtes de Provence AOC and the Bandol AOC, which produce some of the best rosé wines in the world. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, this region has a warm and sunny climate, with long, hot summers and mild, wet winters. The landscape is filled with rolling hills, and picturesque villages on a gorgeous coastline, making it a holiday hub for many - sand in your toes, and rosé on the beach, anyone? But if rosé isn't your thing, the region also produces white and red wines, predominantly made from a variety of grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun and relaxing vacation, Provence has something for everyone.
